So, it's around 1.40 on Sunday morning, almost 22 and half hours after I got back from hospital last night.
That is, got back from hospital after our meal on Friday night.
The meal where I was so drunk, with my family, that K walked out on me halfway through - only to be persuaded back by my sister-in-law.
Then, later, when I was outside having a cigarette, I just fell over.
Landing directly on my face.
Knocking myself out.
Smashing and embedding my glasses into my face.
Somehow wrenching my neck and back.
The ambulance came, which I barely remember.
I was carted off, put in a head brace.
X-rayed. MRI scanned. Heart rate monitors stuck to my every extreme poiint.
At 3am, after four hours inside the hospital, I was told I could go to triage for the stiches I need in my head.
I didn't bother.
I figure a scar - ableit above my eyebrow - will do me good.
I've had my phone off all day long because I couldn't face K, my mother, my two brothers, their wives.
I am so terribly ashamed of my behaviour.
I was an absolute disgrace.
I know K will never see me again. And I don't blame her.
Currently, I have a swollen, scraped forehead, a deeply cut eyebrow, a black (right) eye, a shattered cheekbone, a broken nose (again), a badly cut lip, an aching spine, and screaming shoulders.
And a broken heart, of course.
I'm wearing shades because my main ones were smashed to bits, and these hide the worst part of my injuries.
My phone's staying off for a while.
I won't be blogging for a bit, either.
I'm hoping I'll never drink ever again now. Certainly that's how I feel.
But, anyways.
There you are.
I fucked it up again.
In spectacular style.
And you'll none of you will ever know how absolutely beautiful she looked on Friday, either.
I was so proud.
But now I'm devastated.
Welcome, then, to the true JD's World.
Aw, J. I want to make you feel better, but I know I can't. You've been a good friend.
You reacted to all the frickin past month's frustrations. It wasn't gonna be an ideal night now was it? That emotion-packed dinner was an accident waiting to happen. Bad timing. That was the mistake, but it's all very well saying that with hindsight. Just don't be too hard on yourself Juz. x
